Write down the theme of the following poem (Not more than 50 words).
Because I have seen Bengal’s face I will seek no more; The world has not anything more beautiful to show me. Waking up in darkness, gazing at the fig-tree, I behold Dawn’s swallows roosting under huge umbrella-like leaves. I look around me And discover a leafy dome-Jam, Kanthal, Bat, Hijol and Aswatha trees- All in a hush, shadowing clumps of cactus and zedoary bushes. When long, long ago, Chand came in his honeycombed boat To a blue Hijal, Bat and Tamal shade near the Champa, he too sighted Bengal’s incomparable beauty. One day, alas. In the Ganguri, On a raft, as the waning moon sank on the river’s sandbanks, Behula too saw countless aswaths bats besides golden rice fields And heard the thrush’s soft song. One day, arriving in Amara, Where gods held court, when she danced like a desolate wagtail, Bengal’s rivers, fields, flowers, wailed like strings of bells on her feet.
